Oh, I would so like folks to use attachments so they get saved in the 
archives long after the free image hosting service has kicked the 
(photo)bucket.

But lookie, I just found something nifty:  Mailman (our list management 
software) can be set so that images are not included in any of the 
e-mails, but are replaced by a link back to the archive.  You click the 
link, it pulls the image from the website.  This is apparently already 
enabled on the digest mode, hence the problem Matt K was seeing a couple 
weeks back (that's now fixed).

If we flipped this switch, then we could theoretically up the attachment 
quota to something much larger, megabytes even.

We can also try it for a little & see if anyone hates it...  I'll ask the 
board.
